New Look to Our Weekly Athletic Schedule
Ms. Holland's kindergarten celebrated the 50th day of school today with all things 50! Started with a 50s coloring page and pretending to take a drive to the local dinner. They then created a necklace with 50 fruit loops, completed 50-second challenges like counting bunny hops, twists, and hand jives, and even tried to blow bubbles with bubble gum. Wrote numbers 1-50, assembled puzzles with 50s images while ordering numbers, decorated records with 50 stickers, and ended the day with building sundaes counting by tens to 50 again. They had a spectacular day!
Our High School STEAM class had the amazing opportunity to tour and interact with Mr. and Mrs. Perrin of Agricair Flying Service. The students learned about the importance of crop management, aerial applications, the education required, and the engineering of planes and drones. It was a valuable experience for some hands-on exposure to a local business that combines technology, engineering, and real-world problem-solving skills.
Thank you to our local Veterans for stopping by for a delicious breakfast prepared by our amazing Food Services Team! Elementary and MS/HS students honored our guests and their families with some beautiful music (Thanks to Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Frank)! We are so THANKFUL to all Veterans near and far for their service to our county and we were honored to have them and their families join us on Monday morning!

On the Menu Today - The 6th - 12th students along with staff got the chance to be food critics and try something new! The staff and students at Tri-County enjoyed build-your-own burrito bowls today for lunch. They started with a bowl of brown rice, which was topped with their choice of beef or chicken. Then they were able to top their bowls with a variety of toppings, such as cheese sauce, black beans, peppers/onions, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, fresh pico, & sour cream. The grilled peppers/onions and the pico were made using fresh local produce.

Mrs. Detlor’s 2nd graders would like to give a HUGE thank you to fellow classmate, Aiden, and his grandmother, Cindy Johnson. They generously donated this incredible STEM activity for our classroom through the Adopt a Classroom project. It's a Code & Go Robot Mouse. Our class is going to learn how to do beginning coding and programming. They will build a maze, sequence cards, and then program the mouse to follow the maze to find the cheese. To say that they're excited is an understatement. #2ndgradeROCKS #stem #coding #adoptaclassroom #TCPride
